Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord

Jarad is a self-mill powerhouse that turns your graveyard into a resource. Your game plan is to fill your graveyard with creatures while Jarad grows bigger and bigger—he essentially becomes a flying, evasive threat that dodges most removal. The real magic happens with his sacrifice ability: you're converting creatures (especially big ones you've milled or reanimated) into direct damage, turning your graveyard into a drain outlet. You win by either swinging over for commander damage with a bloated Jarad, or by chipping away with repeated sacrifice triggers until opponents are empty on life total.

The deck leans heavily on self-mill effects like Stitcher's Supplier and Satyr Wayfinder to stock your graveyard fast, then uses reanimation spells (Animate Dead, Reanimate) to bring back those creatures to sacrifice. Cards like Vengevine, Ghoultree, and Stitchwing Skaab reward having creatures in the yard. You're also running creature tutors and sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Zulaport Cutthroat to maximize value. The deck scales smoothly from casual milling into a mid-power engine that can end games out of nowhere once Jarad is large enough.
